China Doll

Sad glass eyes

and porcelain skin,

dissolve the walls of my ice prison.

I see the sun,

the first time in so long.

In shock

I stagger round blind.

In those few seconds…I lost sight of those eyes.

Her blass* skin

blended in with the snow.

Sweet china doll, be my marionette.

I wanna play

wanna take you away;

but I never want you to forget.

She doesn’t want saving.

I know.

But it’s hard to let her ghost just go.

Must I leave this place alone?

So now I’m free

but I’m afraid.

The wind is screaming,

but his voice soon fades.

I’ll pick myself up,

and I’ll jump;

off this mountain.

Sweet china doll, be my marionette.

I wanna play

wanna take you away;

but I never want you to forget.

Sweet china doll.
